Things are about to get a whole lot crazy!
Smalltown tells the unexpected tale of what happens when a polluted water supply turns its residents crazy: from zombies in the frozen food aisle, to oversexed teenagers releasing the animal within, to a dangerous game of Russian roulette on Girvin beach. Find yourself trapped in three seperate stories of Smalltown life befor you decide how the story ends!
Random Accomplice is delivering an outreach project in association with Smalltown. The playwrights will be working with Ayrshire secondary schools using the same starting point as the writers of Smalltown. The pupils will work to create their own Smalltown stories that will then be published as a collection of short plays.

1916. Three Young Women from the Scottish Women’s Hospital are sent to the front line to support the war effort. Ailsa is working class and determined to make an impression on her superiors, Millicent is a self confessed hedonist and Lily is earching for her lost husband. Unprepared for what they witness each must find a way of coping as they fight to survive an experience that will change them forever…
The inspiration for Sea and Land and Sky came from actual diary entries of young Scottish nurses working for the Scottish Women’s Hospital. Through our post-show workshop, participants will create their own characters and diary extracts, exploring writing from place and image in response to a variety of stimulus. Participants will then use the diary extracts as a starting point point for creating performance.
The Workshop and performance are suitable for S5 pupils plus with a maximum group number of 20.
